The Arboreal Republic of New Ladavia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by William Kess with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.782 billion New Ladavians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ninvoth. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient New Ladavian economy, worth a remarkable 2,566 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 173,638 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and scientists pester asteroids with probes until they go away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ladavia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Ladavia is ranked 953^rd in the world and 33^rd in Forest for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 15,984.82 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
